Ramblings and Recipes

DNA is a really exciting groundbreaker for those of us who are searching. When you find the person that you are searching for, you want to be happy, approachable and NOT CREEPY. I may have posted a letter in the past, but as I get good examples, I will continue to share them here for all to use. Here is an excellent example of a letter to send to a potential parent or child.
